Juz 27 finishes Adh-Dhariyat's last thirty verses, then carries six complete surahs in a row, At-Tur, An-Najm, Al-Qamar, Ar-Rahman, Al-Waqia and Al-Hadid, forty-nine, sixty-two, fifty-five, seventy-eight, ninety-six and twenty-nine verses respectively, ending precisely on Al-Hadid's final verse. The stretch of shorter surahs beginning here continues to yield dense, whole-surah juz divisions through much of the rest of the Quran.
In communities that pace the nightly tarawih prayers of Ramadan at one juz per night, this is customarily the twenty-seventh night's portion, though many mosques recite faster to finish early in the month or slower to spread the reading further, and some congregations instead divide the whole Quran among thirty reciters for a single collective khatm. Huffaz reviewing memorised portions often pace themselves by a juz's two hizb and four quarter-hizb divisions rather than by surah, and printed Mushafs typically mark each juz's opening in the margin with a small medallion inscribed with its number. Many print editions, including the widely used 604-page Uthmani Mushaf standardised by Saudi Arabia's King Fahd Complex, begin each juz on a fresh page and hold each to roughly twenty pages, letting a reciter track a night's target by page count alone without consulting verse numbers.
